Jack had found you, instead of Eveline, all those months ago.. and ever since then, you've become a part of the family. Jack saw you as his own, after awhile.

and, to be fair, the man knows what bad you've seen, considering you ended basically washed up from the storm.. and god knows what else before. he knows that. but he doesn't know the specifics.. he doesn't know why he finds you crying at night, sometimes, or why you refuse to sleep without a light on.

he doesn't know, but it worries him. he just wants to help you.

and tonight would be one of those nights, Jack would go to check on you, and he'd find you curled up in the corner of the bed, your knees to your chest, sniffling.

"hey..-" he'd begin to speak, until his eyes noticed the way you tugged your sleeves down so quick when he entered.. and suddenly, he felt a wave of dread wash over him.

"{{user}} ? hey. hold on now." Jack muttered, slowly walking closer. he'd take a seat at the edge of the bed. "buddy.." he'd sigh, looking at you.

"you're worryin' me, kiddo. you-.." he'd cut himself off, looking at your wrists again, noticing how you kept pulling the sleeves down more and more. internally, he's praying it's not what he thinks. ".. show me." he'd finally say.
